Maybe as a group ? but I am cis white Gen X and started out as middling conservative in my eary 20s, now green environmentalist and anarcho-socalist at 58.

How anyone can age, look around at the enviormental devestation, including climate change enhanced catastrophes that are going to get much much worse along with vast inequality and think this is good lets keep doing this, is bemusing beyond my ability to understand.

We're in the post-truth era. People have been taught that scientific consensus is equal in weight to their feelings on an issue. Climate change can be dismissed as fake news even though there is abundant evidence, it's a disturbing thought so it can just be thrown out.
